School Size Matters in Interesting Ways. Research on Middle School Renewal.
Mertens, Steven B.; Flowers, Nancy; Mulhall, Peter F.
Middle School Journal, v32 n5 p51-55 May 2001
Discusses the impact of school size on interdisciplinary teaming, developmentally appropriate classroom practices, school climate, and student outcomes, based on a study of 140 Michigan middle grade schools. Finds that there is no simple answer to the issue of school size; however teaming seems to make smaller schools better and larger schools smaller. (SD)
